Chapter 22 Chase (Part 1)
"What if he didn't catch up?" The green-armored knight was a little confused.
You can't hide the look in a person's eyes, "Carmel needs my blood to wash away his shame. For his honor, he will definitely come after me. If he is the kind of person who will let his honor be shamed, Man, when I offered him double the price to kill Harui at the beginning, he should have agreed."
A gentleman can be deceived. Just as Harui was sure to take Carmel before, now Ian is also sure to take Carmel.
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name for so long. How do you call it?" Ian suddenly thought.
"Me?" The knight was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Old dog."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend," Ian apologized quickly. "I wanted to leave a mark for those mercenaries. No matter what their identity is, I can do it here." The impression of having the opportunity to be promoted to the nobility paved the way for directly inciting rebellion against them later."
"My name is Roll, and his name is Keith," Roll introduced. Then he suddenly raised his head and gave Ian an admiring look. "They are really coming after them. Protect yourself. If you find something is wrong, run away. With the strength of your horse’s feet, they can’t catch you.”
Hearing this, Ian looked to the west and saw four cavalrymen appearing in his field of vision. The leader was wearing a plate and chain armor and was obviously Captain Kammer himself, while the other three were only wearing ordinary leather armor and Armed clothing.
"You bastard, an oathbreaker, a murderer! You have no honor!" When the distance between the two sides was still more than 50 meters, Ian had already heard Kammer's angry roar.
Ian fixed his eyes and met a malicious look.
At that moment, Ian even felt the murderous intent in the air condense into substance, which made him feel a little scared, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly.
There was no horse, and no more words. Kammer raised the front end of the spear and began to speed up, rushing towards Ian at the lead.
The smooth and wide King's Road is very conducive to the running of war horses. Soon, the war horse under his crotch changed from trotting to running.
At the same time that Kammer accelerated his sprint, the black-armored knight Keith, who had never spoken a word, also rode out and faced him. After giving Ian a safety look, Rohr also launched a charge.
In just a blink of an eye, the two sides had already joined hands.
The Carmel spear rushing at the front pointed directly at Case's neck, the gap between the helmet and the breastplate. Case ducked sideways, thinking that he could easily avoid this clumsy spear.
Unexpectedly, Kammer's lance skills were superb. He predicted the direction of Keith's dodge in advance, so that despite evading by such a large margin, Kammer's spear was still hit by Kammer's black plate armor. The huge piece of left shoulder armor.
Fortunately, Kammer's spear point not only failed to penetrate Case's thick shoulder armor, but because the spear in his hand was not a lance with a high-strength barrel, but an ordinary spear, the fragile barrel It breaks suddenly under the influence of speed and angle.
The powerful impact forced Case to hold on to the reins tightly, and then he stabilized his body with the help of the stirrups. However, this action also caused him to miss the opportunity to counterattack Kammer, and he could only let the two horses go. Passed by by mistake.
Kammer was also shocked by the reaction force at the moment of impact. As the barrel of the gun broke, he immediately discarded the useless spear and tried to pull out his sword while maintaining balance with difficulty. But before he had time, he met Rolle who was following Case.
Seeing that his opponent was rushing toward him without hesitation, Kammer had to take the initiative to turn around to avoid the collision between the two horses. However, during the sharp turn, the horse under his hip was unbalanced and fell straight to the left. .
Rohr lightly lifted the reins of his horse and easily dodged Kammer who was rushing towards him. He swung his sword sideways at the extreme distance of the long sword and cut off half of Kammer's left palm.
Kammer completely lost control of his mount at this moment. The already unbalanced horse under his crotch ran forward seven or eight steps, and then fell to the ground with both man and horse. The moment he hit the ground, he was crushed. Kammer's left leg was broken.
Then a low scream sounded on the King's Road.
After rushing out a few meters, Rohr reined in the horse, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and charged at Kammer again. Rohr lowered the long sword in his hand, and lay on the horse with his chest close to the horse's back. , rushed in front of Kammer, and stabbed Kammer in the neck while he was pressed on the ground.
The tip of the sword penetrated Kammer's throat from the side, but Rolle's horse did not stop. This speed brought the sword in Rolle's hand to cut Kammer's spine, twist open half of his throat, and The whole headband flew out.
After taking a few steps, Rohr did not stop his horse, but turned sharply again and headed in the direction of Case.
At this moment, Case obviously needed his support.
Well, Case doesn't seem to need his support that much at this moment.
Rohr relaxed his crotch and slowed down his horse. He couldn't help but cover his face and smile bitterly. It turned out that during the time he was dealing with a Kamel with a broken spear, Keyes had already killed two opponents, one against three.
Two corpses lay on the King's Road, one of which had been cut into two pieces.
The last cavalryman under Kammer was directly frightened by Keith's fierce offensive. With all his companions dead, he simply could not muster the courage to fight the black iron tower-like knight.
The cavalryman took advantage of the distance between Keyes and himself because he was taking care of another companion. He turned his horse's head and fled north.
"Catch him!" Ian yelled, and then he rode straight after him.
Of course he couldn't just sit back and watch the cavalry escape. Any survivor today was a potential risk.
Ian rode the white horse at full speed. Due to the advantages of a good horse and no armor, he immediately surpassed Rohr and Case and caught up with the escaping mercenary cavalry.
Ian held the unsheathed heraldic sword in his hand. It wasn't until the opponent was almost within his attack range that he suddenly remembered a question.
How the hell can I beat him?
It's a pity that he didn't have time to think through all the problems clearly in one step and three steps as usual. His horse surpassed the fleeing cavalry's horse in the next second. He could only rely on the experience of fighting on horseback gained through the memory of the mercenary knight profession. He slashed with his sword based on his instinct.
The fleeing cavalryman skillfully raised his hand to deflect Ian's attack with a sword. Ian only felt his hand shake, and he was a little unsteady while sitting on the horse.
The fleeing cavalry seemed to realize that the pursuer was half-assed. He turned around and struck Ian with a sword. Ian blocked hastily, but unexpectedly the sword in his hand was knocked away.
